Wise words Walt! I’m a dreamer, but more relevant here I’m a shopaholic. I would say I’m resourceful. I’ve wanted a Celine Trio bag forever.Then Claire in Brown Thomas goes and tells me, they turn into a clutch. I immediately went about the declutter… Selling stuff I no longer use to make up the funds! Then I got to bring her home.

The new handbag department in Brown Thomas is lovely. The staff are amazing. In particular Claire in the Celine Boutique. She was informative without being intrusive… Told me to go away and think about it. (you know I’m laughing now) I decided to go with the French Navy colour in the large.

I know it looks black but that’s the beauty of it. The colour reflects/mirrors what’s next to it. Beside the black bag I couldn’t tell the difference, yet beside navy it’s so obviously blue.

The leather is exquisite.

The three zips are so pretty and neat.

Both the front and back pockets are detachable. They also then clip together to make a clutch. It’s two bags in one! Guys I highly recommend Depop, Adverts, eBay and Done Deal to sell your unwanted stuff. I see it as wardrobe recycling.
